Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method performed in a transmitting node for transmitting at least one burst of energy to one or more receiving nodes in a wireless communication network, wherein the transmitting node comprises a number of transmit antennas being more than one and wherein the at least one burst of energy carries a payload for one or more receiving nodes, the method comprising: determining a shift, for one or more transmit antennas, in one or more signal characteristics of a burst of energy of the at least one burst of energy, which shift indicates one or more additional information bits, in addition to the payload, for a first receiving node; transmitting, over the one or more transmit antennas, the burst of energy of the at least one burst of energy with the shift in the one or more signal characteristics, and carrying the payload to one or more receiving nodes in the wireless communication network; and wherein the method further comprises: mapping the one or more additional information bits to a code matrix by means of a diversity code, the code matrix comprises a number of rows that is equal to the number of transmit antennas of the transmitting node and a number of columns; and applying, respectively for each transmit antenna out of the number of transmit antennas, the determined shift in one or more signal characteristics of the burst of energy, for carrying the one or more additional information bits, according to an entry of a column in the matrix, wherein each entry in the column is a complex number with one or more signal characteristics.

2

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the diversity code is a space-time block code or a differential space-time code.

3

3. A transmitting node for transmitting at least one burst of energy to one or more receiving nodes in a wireless communication network, wherein the transmitting node comprises a number of transmit antennas being more than one and wherein the at least one burst of energy is configured to carry a payload for one or more receiving nodes, the transmitting node being configured to: determine a shift, for one or more transmit antennas, in one or more signal characteristics of a burst of energy of the at least one burst of energy, which shift indicates one or more additional information bits, in addition to the payload, for a first receiving node; and transmit over the one or more transmit antennas, the burst of energy of the at least one burst of energy with the shift in the one or more signal characteristics, and carrying the payload to one or more receiving nodes in the wireless communication network; the transmitting node further being configured to: map the one or more additional information bits to a code matrix by means of a diversity code, the code matrix comprises a number of rows that is equal to the number of transmit antennas of the transmitting node and a number of columns, and to apply respectively for each transmit antenna out of the number of transmit antennas, the determined shift in one or more signal characteristics of the burst of energy, for carrying the one or more additional information bits, according to an entry of a column in the matrix, wherein each entry in the column is a complex number with one or more signal characteristics.

4. The transmitting node according to claim 3 , wherein the diversity code is a space-time block code or a differential space-time code.
